Substitute my gloom
with happiness
Substitute my sickness
with health
Substitute my enemies
with real good friends
Morphine and chocolate
are my substitutes
Are my substitutes
Morphine and chocolate
can bring me up
Can warm my heart for me
whenever I want it
And every once in a while when
I stop and think
Morphine and chocolate
are my substitutes
Are my substitutes
And you can say: Hey.
We've really come a long way
And you can say: Hey
It can only be this way
You might be careful
It really hurts when it's real
You might be careful
It really hurts when it's real
You might be careful
It really hurts when it's real
You'll go down, down, down
Set the alarm clock, baby
Don't you miss the sun?
You know, I'm feeling really warm hearted baby
Don't you know I'm feeling like someone
I'm fearing for my life again
And I am fearing for my heart
Morphine and chocolate
could never
substitute my art
And that's real love baby
And that's real love baby
And that's real love baby
